Many Americans are gearing up for a long weekend. You’re either thrilled to be one of them or embittered that you aren’t, but either way, it’s clear: You’re not getting a lot done at work today.
Enter “Arrow Hero.” It’s a new browser game that’s basically like playing “Guitar Hero” or “Dance Dance Revolution” with your computer keyboard. It was created by Jérémy Graziani and published to GitHub, a repository of computer code, Wednesday.
